Ingredients
  

  • 01 - 20 jumbo marshmallows.
  • 02 - 1 cup pancake mix.
  • 03 - 1 large egg.
  • 04 - ¾ cup milk.
  • 05 - 2 to 3 cups vegetable oil for deep frying.
  • 06 - Whipped cream optional, for serving.
  • 07 - Chocolate syrup optional, for serving.
  • 08 - Sprinkles optional, for serving.

Method
 

  1. 20 jumbo marshmallows: The star of the show, providing a soft and gooey center.
  2. 1 cup pancake mix: Forms the base of the batter, creating a light and crispy coating.
  3. 1 large egg: Adds richness and helps bind the batter.
  4. ¾ cup milk: Ensures the batter is smooth and easy to coat the marshmallows.
  5. 2 to 3 cups vegetable oil: Used for deep frying, ensuring the marshmallows are crispy and golden brown.
  6. Whipped cream (optional, for serving): Adds a creamy and sweet topping.
  7. Chocolate syrup (optional, for serving): Drizzle over the top for extra sweetness and flavor.
  8. Sprinkles (optional, for serving): Adds a fun and colorful touch to the finished dessert.
  9. Step 1: Preheat the Oil
  10. Heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F. Use a kitchen thermometer to maintain the correct temperature for a crispy coating.
  11. Step 2: Prepare the Batter
  12. Combine pancake mix, egg, and milk in a bowl. Stir until smooth and free of lumps. Adjust the thickness by adding more milk or pancake mix as needed.
  13. Step 3: Coat the Marshmallows
  14. Dip each marshmallow into the batter, ensuring an even coating. Gently shake off excess batter to avoid dripping.
  15. Step 4: Fry the Marshmallows
  16. Carefully place coated marshmallows into the hot oil in small batches. Fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute, turning occasionally, until golden brown.
  17. Step 5: Drain and Serve
  18. Remove marshmallows with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with optional toppings like whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and sprinkles.
